A way to EQ vocals without EQ


Recording for example a chorus with Beyer M55 HN.


Then double tracking with Sony F-96 high impedance.


By adjusting the volume of the F-96 presence can be added.


The double tracking effect makes the voice sounding much more deep too.


Signal path, setup:


Mic at high Z - Pleiades K117 prepreamp cable (prepreamp inside the connector) - mic 3pin, headphone 3 pin to 4 pin iPad Y adaptor - iPad (GarageBand)


The high impedance has the advantage of making the mic behave like a condenser with high output, the K117 JFET stage then brings the impedance down and is powered directly by iPad just like connecting an electret condenser mic. The quality of sound is phenomenal. These great omni moving coil mics have a step up transformer inside them which damps the membrane for pops and may cut some bass so that the mic sounds correct to our brain. The iPad does this further with its low cut.
